HIGH BALLING
Advertisement
OK, WE GET IT. Right now we can’t really do what we want to do. But that doesn’t mean that we can’t have fun and do something a bit crazy! Right? Right! And so we ended up on top of Mt. Currie shooting (eco-friendly) golf balls down into the valley below, before leaving for a scenic flight over timeless glaciers to a secluded mountain lake for some paddleboarding. And then there was our champagne picnic. Yes, it was a pretty good day! So, when will you do it?
The whole idea actually started around a year ago. In Quebec City. We had joined Lincoln Canada to experience the new Aviator, and one of the other guests invited was Luana Torres. At the time, the Brazilian digital influencer and helicopter pilot, worked for Blackcomb Helicopters, along with her husband, Fred, and so we decided to create a unique experience. The pandemic delayed our plans a bit, but once businesses opened again, we were good to go! And we realized that you don’t have to travel far to do something very unique!
Blackcomb Helicopters has been operating since 1989 but the roots go back to the early part of the decade. Today, the company has grown to some twenty helicopters and sixty aviation professionals who are passionate about providing services to the tourism industry, including search-and-rescue, help-skiing and help-biking activities, as well as for the mining, fire-fighting and film communities.
They already offer several cool adventure packages, for both the winter and summer seasons and subsequently, all we had to do was to tell them what we were looking for, and their team planned the rest.
From Cigars & Scotch to a Helic-Picnic
Actually, the Cigars & Scotch part was our idea. And that’s what it is all about. Yes, you can start with picking one of their adventures, from heli-yoga to the 19th Hole golf trip that brings you to the top of Mt. Currie, but it’s the details that make the difference. Have a unique picnic with your favourite wine or champagne. Bring your buddies to the 19th Hole, dress up and shoot some balls while sampling fine Scotch and Cuban cigars.
Anniversaries, Proposals & Weddings
Do you want that fairy-tale proposal? Celebrate your love for each other with an incredible mountaintop, glacier or lakeside wedding that you’ll remember forever?
There are many breathtaking places you can reach with a helicopter, and the team at Blackcomb Helicopters will help you find the perfect spot.
PRIVATE GLACIER COCKTAIL PARTY
How do you like the idea of hosting the coolest party event for your friends, staff or business partners? Blackcomb Helicopters (BH) have organized events for up to 300 people. Just give them some ideas, and they will help you to make it the event of a lifetime.
Needless to say - we had an amazing time! A big ‘thank you’ to the BH-team for creating this day, which also turned into a goodbye-party for Luana and Fred, who have since moved to Portugal, and to Portobello Whistler for the delicious fine-dining picnic experience.
So there you go - you don’t have to leave BC to have some great fun, creating memories with your friends and family that will last a lifetime. As for us - we are already planning some more exciting trips. Stay tuned!
